The service interval will be on every 10K km or 6 months, whichever comes first
Please refer to the first post, there is a service cost charged for 2.0L, 1.6T will be around that also

In SC for 10k service now, looking at the 408T with euro kit. Touch on it, feel like it's just hard plastic.
Tried to approach to the customer service. Asked him that If I can install the Euro Kit on my old batch 408, he asked me:"What Euro Kit?"
"Body Kit"
"Oh, body kit, body kit belum ada lagi la! "
"Tak ade? (I am pointing the show car with Euro Kit to him), itu la "
Then he showed me a surprise face, he go check check on the show car, obviously he don't know about the new batch Euro Kit 408. doh.gif

I checked with the SA, understand that 408 without Euro Kit is no longer available, except 2012 stock. Now all 408 comes with Euro Kit with a price increase of 3K.

Hi, please note that the service schedule can be your reference only as it's not the updated one. Peugeot has revised the service schedule to spread out the 60k service cost evenly. I had just got spoke to the customer service regarding the service schedule, 60k service cost can be less than 2K.

Hi I think u can actually snap a picture of the schedule at the service counter. When I was last there at the Chan Sow Lin . Behind the service counter, they detailed and displayed model by model the service schedule with what are the job and scope involved at each intervals . I have another 2k km plus before my 1st 10k km service n will snap and load in about a month from now. But since bro JFcheong is at the Johore Service centre may be he can snap the picture first if they display them at the counter like in KL chan sow Lin /Sg besi?

I ady got a copy for both 1.6 and 2.0 service schedule. But no price available as they don't want to compromise on the price due to the floating of engine oil price. Will upload it once I got home.
Btw, I am at JB EuroFrance Peugeot.

thanks bro kenso for creating the service price list.

Actually it's fairly expensive if you compare it to a Japanese C-segment equivalent. It's about 25% to 30% more expensive than compared to a Corolla Altis for example, even if compared to the new Civic, under the worse case scenario, the cost of servicing is still at least nearly 15% more expensive. Granted, the pricing looks like it's for the turbo variant, so its understandable if it cost more to maintain but does the NA version share the same maintenance pricing? If so, then it's quite an expensive car to own.

In SC for 10k service now, looking at the 408T with euro kit. Touch on it, feel like it's just hard plastic.
Tried to approach to the customer service. Asked him that If I can install the Euro Kit on my old batch 408, he asked me:"What Euro Kit?"
"Body Kit"
"Oh, body kit, body kit belum ada lagi la! "
"Tak ade?  (I am pointing the show car with Euro Kit to him), itu la "
Then he showed me a surprise face, he go check check on the show car, obviously he don't know about the new batch Euro Kit 408.  doh.gif

I checked with the SA, understand that 408 without Euro Kit is no longer available, except 2012 stock. Now all 408 comes with Euro Kit with a price increase of 3K.

I actually have full service records and pricing of

Corolla Altis 2008 ~ 2012
Camry 2007 ~ 2011

I also own the latest Honda Civic 1.8s as well and have access to pricing of the 2.0s versons as well as the Civic Hybrid.

I'm very interested to know how much the Peugeot 408 cost to service in comparison to the Japanese makes. I'm also doing the same to various VW models as well to serve as a check.

If Kenso's guide is accurate, then 20% ~ 30% price difference is actually quite a big gap if the pricing also applies to the NA variants.

10k service for the latest Civic 1.8s or 2.0s cost only RM250. 10k for the Peugeot ??? cost RM316.30 - that's at least 20% difference in price.

Attached File  NA_Service_Schedule.pdf ( 1.14mb ) Number of downloads: 881

Attched both Turbo and NA service schedule.
Actually Nasim just bring forward some service part from 60K to 40K and 50K, which make the cost of 60K lesser.
The schedule attached was not updated for that.
Rough cost of each service:
10K: <Rm350 (free labor)
20K: <Rm500 (include labor)
30K: <Rm500 (include labor)
40K: <Rm900
50K: <Rm900
60K: <Rm2,000 (mostly is due to the gear box oil which cost around Rm1,400)

Ok that sounds a bit more reasonable for 2.0NA but still a little on the high side as far as pricing is concerned.

Good info, thanks for sharing.

My wife used to own a 2007 City iDSI and that pricing doesn't sound reasonable to me at all unless you are using fully synthetic oil at every 5k interval. But I agree, the 408 10k service interval is cheaper because Honda cars use 5k service intervals (except latest Civic) and when you add the numbers up, it's actually more expensive.

Since your loan approved today, it will just takes few days for your SA to register your car.
As long as your SA done his/ her job efficiency, dont drag here drag there. Most probably you can get your car next week.
Congratulate bro. rclxms.gif

The heat rejection is around 96%. No problem for smart tag, GPS, auto gate remote control, HP reception.
As Huper Optic is made by nano ceramic, unlike the rest tint brand

Where got such things? I though as long as you placed your deposit to book your car during the promotion period, you are entitled for that.

Good value for money? Not expecting to be cheap but as long ada kualiti. How much exactly?
BTW JPJ tak boleh pass?

QUOTE(jfcheong @ Jan 26 2013, 11:41 PM)
Since your loan approved today, it will just takes few days for your SA to register your car.
As long as your SA done his/ her job efficiency, dont drag here drag there. Most probably you can get your car next week.
Congratulate bro.  rclxms.gif

The heat rejection is around 96%. No problem for smart tag, GPS, auto gate remote control, HP reception.
As Huper Optic is made by nano ceramic, unlike the rest tint brand

How was the fella schedule like? At one time, he was so busy that I had to go on Monday morning and only finish after 6pm. Power, but it's good. My wife's fiesta using Sierra Glow, already 22 months and still lasting. Spray water still form small drops like after waxing.

Hello, all the 408 - 2013 owners out there. Do u mind to share your condition of your 2013 car.

I felt my 2013 car which I took last week not like 2013 car except that the paper show it is reg 2013 and manufacture 2013 la. But the car headlamp the gap is dirty and the tire are 1412 means April 2012. Possible a 2013 car using so old tire.

Bro jfcheong, your huper optic package is cheap. I did mine at Smart Window at SS2 for RM2,200 with 5 years warranty. My package is Huper Optic ceramic series with 4mil on the side windows. However, the finishing is not very good wor. Still got air bubble trapped inside the tint film on one of the side window. The staff said it will dry off slowly after some times. I installed the tint in Oct 2012. Now already 4 months, the air is still there. I will send my pug back to the shop to replace the tint.

I can use smartag with no problem at all.

O I C, but may be the sample here since just 50 or so owner may not really reflect the actual masses owner's preference. Also availability of stocks also affect somwhat i think. e.g. When I booked my car I wanted bronze but were told no bronze any more than I say how bout grey, that time my SA said grey was very high in demand n i may have to wait longer, then I finally settle for silver but truth be told I think silver is not making the car standing out and kind of subdue its look somewhat compare to other colours. But the plus side is it is easy to maintain and more low profile which is what I want to be, so here I am stuck with silver n happy bout it just the same.

I have encountered similar bad service from this SC. Now, I am going to glenmarie.

Complained about my front left door misalignment few weeks ago. A helping technician found out a screw went missing. Called me back 2 weeks later after he ordered the spare part for me. It was along wait but it does solved my problem.

IMHO, screw is something cheap and though may not be using it more than often, however, they should have an inventory on this.

Is it the door or the door trim not aligned?mind sharing with us which screw they've replaced?

Anyhow, I could say that i'm satisfied with their careline service but the same could not be said about their SC. But with their growing SC I hope they can cope with their growing customer or else..tutup kedai

if i remember correctly, someone actually created a table of 100000kms servicing pricing on the net for Malaysia.

Peugeot, VW and other continental brands are actually on par.

"Expensive" can be very subjective when we're driving a 100 sensor cars compared to a basic fuel injection japanese car.

If we're comparing Pug with Lexus, then you'll see how "cheap" the cost will be for an apple to apple comparison in term of engine complexity.

I wouldn't go so far as to call Japanese cars as being basic. The turbo variant is surely more sophisticated because it employs a GDI turbocharged engine but the naturally aspirated version is actually using an engine (EW10A+) that is as old as the 1ZZ-FE Corolla Altis engine (both were introduced way back in 1998). Basically engines of that era were pretty much DOHC multi-valve and multi-injection. So, if NA version is using older engine technology with a tried and tested 4 speed AT as well, then the cost of servicing should not be that much more compared to a Japanese equivalent.

Just some thoughts on the matter.

i was told the major service cost for a japanese class c is now touching 2k+

all hearsay, i may be wrong.

but i do agree SCs are overcharging no matter which brand in Malaysia.

Full-sync are costing them RM140ish but we need to pay full RRP

I wonder if we could approach Peugeot to update Bluetooth software? So many of us have problem with auto connect. Quite cumbersome to manually connect after every startup! My wifes old Nokkia auto connects. So obviously the car's software needs an update to support newer phones,I think!

You're definitely getting a lot of wrong info.

Latest Civic Hybrid 0w20 price charged by Honda is RM150.50

Even when I had my Corolla Altis, the charges were never more than RM170 for fully synthetic oil.

Full service will not hit more than RM1.5k either, not to say it isn't possible but it's not likely, not unless you have some very major work done or unless you push 2 or 3 services into 1.

That's why if the price gap is more than 20% between Japanese C-segment marques and for the NA version, then it's considered quite costly to maintain. It's more logical if between the turbo version vs any non turbocharged Japanese NA cars.

For iphone users, in the previous thread I mentioned about disabling the a2dp (streaming) protocol on your phone, and bluetooth will work flawlessly,but for phonecalls only. This however would require you to jailbreak your phone and install a cydia app called "bluetooth services" or something.

Recently I updated to ios6, and obviously its no longer jailbroken, so I cant disable the a2dp protocol as previously. What I did now is to manually disconnect the streaming option from the peugeot bluetooth menu. To put it in simpler steps:
1. Connect your iphone to car using Menu > Bluetooth > Bluetooth Configuration > Connect/disconnect an Equipment > Telephone Function > iPhone*
2. There will be astatus message at your car's display with a pic of a phone and text saying "iPhone*"
3. There will be a second status message, saying "Streaming iPhone* Connected"
4. Right after the second message, immediately go into the Menu > Bluetooth > Bluetooth Configuration > Connect/disconnect an Equipment > Audio Streaming Function > iPhone
5. There will be another status message, saying "Streaming iPhone* Disconnected"

This way it will disconnect or disable the streaming function of the car, and will only use bluetooth for phonecalls.

Connecting bluetooth from your phone (by tapping the PEUGEOT in your phone bluetooth menu) will connect a2dp first, then only handsfree, which makes it disconnect straight away. By using the steps I mentioned above, you will connect the the handsfree protocol first, then the streaming function, which we immediately disable before it disconnects us.

I just recently found this steps today, and tried a few times with my phone successfully. Could other users try it too to see if its working?

Edit: repaired typos, rephrased words, rearranged sentences, and etc2

Hi zweimmk,

No offense but it will be better if you could state or show some prove of the charges mentioned by you. For fully synthetic oil, price differs by brand and when was it changed? Price has gone up a lot nowadays. And by mentioned fully synthetic oil, the type of oil and the grade makes a big price difference too even it is categorized as fully synthetic.

Just mentioned a price rm170 is not enough. Make a full list of price charged for 5 years or 100k km will be more convincing.. And, may I know the civic hybrid is 10k per service or 5k? With this, we all will know how much it cost to maintain Japanese famous car such as civic, Korean forte, vw Jetta, Peugeot 408. For me, it's better to compare cars within same class, engine type(turbo or n/a).

from what I see here, it is still hearsay with some giving his/her inputs based on limited knowledge and din make the effort to back up his/her claims.

Regards

If I don't have proof of prices, you think I would simply post or not? As I have already said, I previously owned a corolla Altis 2008 and have all service receipts until July if last year. I now own a 1.8s civic as well together with my vw and have seen the sales invoice of other civic 2.0s to know what the current prices are. Why do you think I say that the 408NA service price is actually fairly expensive compared to a Japanese marque of similar NA engine capacity?

Edit: civic hybrid is also on 10k service interval but that car seem to cost substantially a bit more to service compared to the regular Civic.

It is valid for the pre-FB model, but this does not apply to the new FB Civic Model. It is also likely that the new Accord which will launch later this year will also go on the new 10k service interval.
Toyota has been on 10k for sometime, 5k is also available but why service the car more times than necessary?

http://www.honda.com.my/model/maintanence/civic/547/

But no disputes on the PUG408 NA being cheaper to service compared to older Civics and even newer Honda City models.

Hi guys,

Just got some info from my buddy who drives a 308t.
He told me his Service guy says to avoid carbon build-up on the turbo engine, we should pump ron97 once a month and also to rev the engine up (ie speed up to 130-150km so RPM can go higher) to clear the carbon build-up.

True ka?

the 408 has a revised engine that doesn't really need that sort of treatment. but, you can also try it as a precaution.

FYI. I was a little disappointed that the interest by Maybank was a whopping 2.54% far from quoted 2.47%. If it's not the convenience, I'll look otherwise.

Yesterday I was driving my 408t and suddenly I could hear click clik sound on the dashboard. I was cursing like hell for the money spent no this crap.....took out all the things in the compartment,glove box etc......drive again and the stupid sound is still there. Damn!

Then, I was thinking of booking an appointment with sc for the rectification to be done soonest possible before I embarrassed myself in frontal of relatives and friends.....

Suddenly, I realize it was the sun visor that is making the click click sound as I was driving. I took it out from the clip to block the sunlight shining into cabin from side window and when I flip back to original position, I didn't clip it back. That explains the click click sound.

Finally, I am a happy pug owner again....hahaha

Jus to share my experience here......

IRR rejected does not equal to TSER.

If the brand says 85% IRR, TSER may be only 35-45% range.

3M and other famous brands shows their TSER. 50% and above is something you'll want to install for you pug.

Hi, I'm using 3M Crystalline with 4mil security tint. Pretty decent. But on those really hot days, the heat still can be felt. I was using Crystalline on my previous ride and if I'm not mistaken, those tints effectiveness does depends on the angle of sunshine. Hence, most effective from 12-2pm range. Correct me if am wrong though.

You're definitely getting a lot of wrong info.

Latest Civic Hybrid 0w20 price charged by Honda is RM150.50

Even when I had my Corolla Altis, the charges were never more than RM170 for fully synthetic oil.

Full service will not hit more than RM1.5k either, not to say it isn't possible but it's not likely, not unless you have some very major work done or unless you push 2 or 3 services into 1.

That's why if the price gap is more than 20% between Japanese C-segment marques and for the NA version, then it's considered quite costly to maintain. It's more logical if between the turbo version vs any non turbocharged Japanese NA cars.

Does this even take into consideration of 5liters engine oil for Pugs ? Japs <= 2.0cc only 4liters max right?

Okay, good spot. It's one more litre of engine oil required. 5L vs 4L

1L extra will cost you anything between RM50 ~ RM70 more.

Seeing the bill cost around RM307 ~ RM340, the servicing cost for the NA version is reasonable .

Something interesting about the EW10 engine I dugged up

It has VVL and VVT on the intake.

Btw, had read in earlier post by ano bro, on 408 aircond settings. Apparently the manual states the numericals doesn't equate to temperature& more like comfort setting. Hence, setting of 21 is not equivalent to 21celcius . I was earlier confused myself.

Ok finally got my 408T unit around 5pm at the tinting shop in seremban (Ray Tech).
Drove it back just now on PLUS and I noticed at some stretch of the highway, my speed was around 130-150kph Sports mode off, felt the car with subtle bounciness.
Have you guys/gals felt that before? If I'm a woman not wearing bra, it'll be quite a discomfort.

I installed the RayTech V90 solar tint didn't do the security film version.

Since its brand new, do giv a check on your tyre pressure- could be as some bro described earlier as 'show room' pressure. Nevertheless, 408 T has firmer ride and the subtle bounciness only reflects that + irregularities on the road. My 408 NA's bounciness is there as well on higher speeds( more noticeable 140kmh up) but the softer setting does compensate it pretty well.

Good question RON408. I had same query myself earlier.
As on using Total, I am presuming it would be BAU as Total is France's national oil company rite?

So for Nasim to be using Petronas, BAU again lah ..hehe.

Anyhow ( touch wood), so far so good on Syntium

Talking on fuel, my 408NA had some 'hiccups' last 2weeks- this is just after 10k service.

My engine had behaved rather erratically ( rpm interval jumping within small band) and its just like hiccups- for lack of word to describe.

Traced back n thought it might be contaminated fuel +water. Didn't remember which station but my lion really felt like "mabuk on whiskey" Anyhow, only able to bring in for servicing 1week later to Balakong SC. Service is pretty good & had left my lion overnite. SC cleaned up
the spark plugs and run some diagnostics. Found out there is some sort of carbon built up. There is no sensor error or any detection earlier though. Cut short, lion is now healthy & running about. Service is FOC.

I was suspecting fuel contamination that leads to incomplete burning hence carbon built up on spark plugs.Just wanting to know if other puggies had same issue on NA b4 n same mabuk like characteristics?

Plus, BHP for my lion tak ngam lah. Dunno why but not as smooth. Had been using Petron. Possibly sensor adapted to regular fuel pumped?

Ok finally got my 408T unit around 5pm at the tinting shop in seremban (Ray Tech).
Drove it back just now on PLUS and I noticed at some stretch of the highway, my speed was around 130-150kph Sports mode off, felt the car with subtle bounciness.
Have you guys/gals felt that before? If I'm a woman not wearing bra, it'll be quite a discomfort.

I installed the RayTech V90 solar tint didn't do the security film version.

Check your tyre pressure as mentioned by matsukatsu earlier. But dont expect too much on the comfort ride on 408T, its rather bouncy while speeding due to the low profile tyre and firmer tuned suspension. On the other hand, this setting does provide better handling.

Ya. My 408t is a bit bouncy too. Have already pump tyre pressure to 2.5bar which is about 36psi. The driving is great, but wife complain back is bouncy. Coz im fetching my baby and wife. Can we tune the suspension to softer settings? Anyway to reduce the bounciness?

It's not possible to tune to a softer suspension. However you can reduce the bouncy effect by changing to normal profile tyres and softer suspension systems. Bear in mind,this will be a compromise on handling.

If you on stock tyres 31 psi is below manufactures recommended minimum. 31psi will be more comfortable but for this car on low profile tyres, recommended minimum is 2.5bar or 36psi for light load. With 31psi you'll see uneven wear on your tyres after a while,the outer edge will wear off quicker.

Thanks for the info I'll have the pressure check. Another thing i realise, the steering wheel jutters when stopping car from around 90 to 110kph. i felt the vibration like uneven disc or perhaps that's the way pug's ABS works. I'll upload a video later. To simulate cruise around the speed range, let go of ur hands and brake (not emergency braking), watch the steering wheel shake. i believe some1 did post something similar in the previous topic. any1 else experience the same?

Talking on fuel, my 408NA had some 'hiccups' last 2weeks- this is just after 10k service.

My engine had behaved rather erratically ( rpm interval jumping within small band) and its just like hiccups- for lack of word to describe.

Traced back n thought it might be contaminated fuel +water. Didn't remember which station but my lion really felt like "mabuk on whiskey" Anyhow, only able to bring in for servicing 1week later to Balakong SC. Service is pretty good & had left my lion overnite. SC cleaned up
the spark plugs and run some diagnostics. Found out there is some sort of carbon built up. There is no sensor error or any detection earlier though. Cut short, lion is now healthy & running about. Service is FOC.

I was suspecting fuel contamination that leads to incomplete burning hence carbon built up on spark plugs.Just wanting to know if other puggies had same issue on NA b4 n same mabuk like characteristics?

Plus, BHP for my lion tak ngam lah. Dunno why but not as smooth. Had been using Petron. Possibly sensor adapted to regular fuel pumped?

Something wrong with BHP leh. My motor auto shutdown itself everytime i stop at traffic lights.
Shell, Caltex, Petronas, Petron all no problem.

Don't know what criteria is used to qualify a car as performance car. I can certainly tell you the 408t has exceptional performance for a family saloon! Of course there are other saloons with better performance. Price is the factor!

Now lets talk about the turbo unit. I like you, was very concerned about the Prince engine used on Pugs cos I too heard about engine problems. Before buying my car I began to research and read everything on the Prince engine. There has been complaints of defective turbo units. These were fitted on early 308t which came with EP6CDT engine. Since then the engine has evolved. Our Prince is EP6CDTM. The M refers to the mods carried out on this engine. 8 mods were done addressing reliability issues. That includes a new designed turbo unit. Bro jfcheong has posted the 8 mods at the initial page for the benefit of all.

So far none of the turbo owners have complained about the engine per sa. There was one complaint about a sensor,not the engine or turbo!That was sorted out and he's a happy customer. To be honest,it is still early to gauge reliability and there are no grantees! All I can say, for the past 8 months I love my Lion's roar! So for the now bro,don't worry,get out there and unleash your Lion! thumbup.gif

Maybe it's like Benz Eco Mode (Blue Motion)-It'll cut off engine and air-cond at full brake stops.
Does it mean PUG408T has such function that can be enabled?

Sudah....today at SierraGlow, luckily was given priority considering the car was 48 hours out of showroom.

Some photos to share.
Didn't control the lighting therefore the before pix looks better. However it's different.
Started 10am, finish 4pm but chit chatted with other owner till 4.30.

For those doing Sierra Glow, please keep in mind that you need to constantly clay bar your car at least once a week to maintain the effect. If ure too lazy to do this, then dont waste your money on SG. And dont have too high hopes on SG. Its not a premium product and there's a reason why its the cheapest coating in the market. Even though the warranty is for 5 years but i doubt its gonna last half that duration. Mine is 8 mths only and the effect isnt as good compared to when i first did the coating.

I think J-Glaze might be a better product. I managed to nego for my friend's new VW Golf. Only RM 1,000 for the following:

1) J glaze for whole car
2) Rain away coating for all windows and windscreens
3) Coating for front headlights

2 years warranty for J Glaze and 1 yr for glass windows/windscreen coating.

the additional 1L of engine oil is actually causing the service price to go up.

Is K5 running on 4L or 5L engine oil?

Agree. Wax is non-corrosive while polish can hurt the paint

Thanks for the info  I'll have the pressure check. Another thing i realise, the steering wheel jutters when stopping car from around 90 to 110kph. i felt the vibration like uneven disc or perhaps that's the way pug's ABS works. I'll upload a video later. To simulate cruise around the speed range, let go of ur hands and brake (not emergency braking), watch the steering wheel shake. i believe some1 did post something similar in the previous topic. any1 else experience the same?

EDITED: Found the brake vibration topic in AndyPeugeot-Posted

SC rectified the steering judder for me yesterday.... they said nothing wrong with the disc brake and they didn't change anything... they just said they did some alignment to the brake pad (not sure how true it's).... but everything is smooth now... no more judder

Hope you don't mind me asking the following questions;

1) Did you make appointment with them to get this or just drive in without appointment?
2) Did they charge you?
3) What was the duration for them to fix it? time you put in and drove out?
4) Which SC was this?

Thank you very much and sorry if too many troublesome questions to answer, but appreciate it if can. Thanks.

But i wonder why till today i dont see many 408's on the road. I see much more Forte, Elantra, Civic and Camry. The new Ford Focus is worse. So far i think ive only see about 5 since the launch. But im seeing more and more K5 on the road. But the biggest increase i think is VW. Quite a number of Polo and Golf on the roads now especially after the last promo.

Btw, i drive around KL and Ipoh quite alot covering about 3500km a month.

It's all about the numbers. Despite the good prices, Malaysians are still not as receptive as I thought they should be towards the French. But there's also Naza as part of the brands and that carries both KIA and Peugeot cars, so it's kind of confusing here.

For those doing Sierra Glow, please keep in mind that you need to constantly clay bar your car at least once a week to maintain the effect. If ure too lazy to do this, then dont waste your money on SG. And dont have too high hopes on SG. Its not a premium product and there's a reason why its the cheapest coating in the market. Even though the warranty is for 5 years but i doubt its gonna last half that duration. Mine is 8 mths only and the effect isnt as good compared to when i first did the coating.

I think J-Glaze might be a better product. I managed to nego for my friend's new VW Golf. Only RM 1,000 for the following:

1) J glaze for whole car
2) Rain away coating for all windows and windscreens
3) Coating for front headlights

2 years warranty for J Glaze and 1 yr for glass windows/windscreen coating.
*
Hi cybermaster98, You may have got the impression wrongly of using a clay bar after Sierra Glow on a weekly basis. Depend on your daily usage of your vehicle exposed to the environment and pollution. We only use a clay bar to remove road tar and death bugs. Otherwise it is normal our car surface will get a bit of roughness due to pollution and metal dust. Example while driving dirt with stick hard on the surface cause slight roughness and normal shampoo will not able to clean. We need to use a clay bar to remove it. Glassglow coating is to protect the paint from further oxidation. Therefore after wash will maintain the shine. Too frequent of waxing and polishing will have swirl marks, hologram on the surface and subsequent the original paint become thinner. Glassglow is the latest technology from Japan and we have put the chemical structure in our website. We are the cheapest but our Glassglow coating is much more superior in quality and workmanship better than others.

cybermaster98, can you contact me 0162170312 for appointment date. I will be happy to check and rectify your problem for you. Thank you. "Gong Xi Fai Chai"

considering kia has more mainstream model but the numbers are still way behind luxury makes like BMW & Benz...

funny thing is that the figure dont quite match up..
KIA sold a ship load of forte literally in 2011,
if i remember correctly, forte in 2011 sold at the rate of about 200 unit a month on average which give and take should be about 2500 unit for the year...
and this is just forte sales only... the picanto, sorento and all has not been included yet...

let me see if i can get the breakdown of the number sold by model....

1) I make the appointment 2 weeks ago and they wont carry out warranty service during saturday
2) it's FOC. No service slip given as this is warranty claim
3) Not sure how long it take coz i asked my SA to bring it to the SC and he return the car to me after fixed. I sent it there early in the morning and SA called to inform that it was done around 4pm.
4) I sent it to puchong sc. SA told me that if go to Bluebox will be faster

Hope the above info is useful for u...

I couldn't say the same for Elantra. From my observation, it seems equally the same between Elantra and 408. But I agree, the new Ford Focus is worse.

However, I went to Singapore last week and couldn't see any single 408 on the road. And I spent most of my time walking which means better exposure to observe cars on the road, but none are to be seen ohmy.gif

Hi cybermaster98, You may have got the impression wrongly of using a clay bar after Sierra Glow on a weekly basis. Depend on your daily usage of your vehicle exposed to the environment and pollution. We only use a clay bar to remove road tar and death bugs. Otherwise it is normal our car surface will get a bit of roughness due to pollution and metal dust. Example while driving dirt with stick hard on the surface cause slight roughness and normal shampoo will not able to clean. We need to use a clay bar to remove it. Glassglow coating is to protect the paint from further oxidation. Therefore after wash will maintain the shine. Too frequent of waxing and polishing will have swirl marks, hologram on the surface and subsequent the original paint become thinner. Glassglow is the latest technology from Japan and we have put the chemical structure in our website. We are the cheapest but our Glassglow coating is much more superior in quality and workmanship better than others.

cybermaster98, can you contact me 0162170312 for appointment date. I will be happy to check and rectify your problem for you. Thank you. "Gong Xi Fai Chai"

Before I apply sierraglow, I've done a little research about the pros and cons of applying coating and is it worth it to do so as I was given vouchers amounting to RM200 for G'zox coating which they've quoted me RM2400 (before deducting the voucher value) to coat the paintwork on my 408. I've heard about sierraglow previously but didn't quite aware of its performance or cost and after knowing it's cost, I'm quite sceptical as it's relativelly cheap from G'Zox. But this one point of justification has been a deciding factor for me to choose sierraglow; why not spend on quality paint job after 5 years which with the amount of spending on G'zox coating (RM2400), I could get top notch paint job quality. The rest as they say, is history...

But i wonder why till today i dont see many 408's on the road. I see much more Forte, Elantra, Civic and Camry. The new Ford Focus is worse. So far i think ive only see about 5 since the launch. But im seeing more and more K5 on the road. But the biggest increase i think is VW. Quite a number of Polo and Golf on the roads now especially after the last promo.

Btw, i drive around KL and Ipoh quite alot covering about 3500km a month.

"In Malaysia, Nasim has positioned the 408 a bit higher than the average C-segment offering while having attractive pricing. Numbers-wise, it might not match the obvious rivals but then again, the Peugeot buyer would not choose the brand because of its sales numbers but because they appreciate the qualities of French cars. At one time, the value for money proposition was weak but these days, Nasim has strengthened it substantially so you can put the 408 on your shopping list – on the upper portion."

Hi All,

Already have new thread. Just want to share experience here.
27/1/2013 - Suppose to come back from home town(KT) to Shah Alam and already schedule for 20k service on 2/2/2013. Unlucky me, that morning temperature up to max and asked me to stop the car.
In my home town don't have any Peugeot service center then my father contact his friend a foreman to check. And he said the water did not circulate normally.
Then need to tow to Kota Bharu for nearest SC. It seems like the thermostat is the culprit. Change that and settle.
What i want to share is the symptom about 1 month before this happen, i realize that the temperature is not reach 90C like before. i goes around 70C-80C only. So take note for the temperature so that can prevent this problem happen.


PS: i do service 20k also at SC kota bharu RM335

Do you call Peugeot careline when you encounter the problem? Is it Peugeot who arranged for the towing service? You need to pay anything for the towing service, and changing the thermostat is claimable under warranty? If it's indeed Peugeot who arranged for all of these, how do you rate their respond?

p/s : Now I sounds like NASIM employee doing a satisfaction survey blush.gif

Car manufacturers make money through sales. The higher the sales, the higher the profits. Simple theory no matter how you define it. Peugeot isnt Ferrari or Porsche where sale figures arent expected to be high. Nobody expected the 408 to match the Japs e.g Civic, Altis, etc but at least i would have expected them to do better than the Koreans at least. Although i dont know official figures but considering the amount of driving im doing per month, ive seen more Elantra's on the road compared to the 408. Even the old Forte seems to be outselling the other non Jap/ Proton makes by a wide margin i think. The 408T is a good car with decent specs and powerful engine yet it isnt selling all that well. Not really sure what that guy meant by 'quality of the French cars' as Peugeot surely isnt known for its quality the same as the Koreans.

Nasim should relook their strategy. Maybe throw in more promos, more road shows, offer better discounts, do more adverts, etc to boost their brand image. Peugeot is similar to Kia when it comes to brand image. Both brands suffered because of poor offerings in the past but compared to Kia, Peugeot doesnt seem to be doing much to improve their brand image.

Personally i would like to see more Peugeot's on the road due to my family's history with the brand. The 508 is a welcome sight compared to the waves of Camry's. But i dont see how Peugeot is gonna fare this year with the 2014 Honda Accord and Toyota Altis due for launch later this year. Not to mention the new Kia Forte K3.

All in all, i think 2013 is gonna be an exciting year for the automotive industry in Malaysia. biggrin.gif

considering kia has more mainstream model but the numbers are still way behind luxury makes like BMW & Benz...

funny thing is that the figure dont quite match up..
KIA sold a ship load of forte literally in 2011,
if i remember correctly, forte in 2011 sold at the rate of about 200 unit a month on average which give and take should be about 2500 unit for the year...
and this is just forte sales only... the picanto, sorento and all has not been included yet...

let me see if i can get the breakdown of the number sold by model....
That would be great. Can you get breakdowns for 2012 especially? Thanks!

When I saw that quoted comment, the first thing that went through my mind was that this really sounded like something you tell others to make yourself feel better. I'm sure Peugeot themselves would appreciate more sales given the kind of situation they are in and that they are also a mainstream car manufacturer. Nevertheless, it did provide me with a good laugh.

The more important thing for them is to improve the after sales service and increase the number of dealership and service centers around the country. That could be difficult seeing as they now also have to develop Citroen. We can only wait and see what happens.

Hi cybermaster98, I did not refer to roadside car wash or premium wash. More over is the bangala that washes your car not the boss. I need to see the patient first prior be able to advise you. Arrange a date to bring in your car after CNY.

The thing that impresses me most about this car is actually the rear seats room. It's as big as many D-segment cars out there maybe except against the Sylphy. Perhaps only the Sylphy is as big or more comfortable than the P408.

1) my note 2 can connect to the bluetooth system but I have to do it manually each time I enter and start up. Any way to make it auto connect?

2) when connecting my ipod to the usb port, it takes about 2 minutes before any song is played. Anyone with similar problems?

Otherwise so far so goo.... albeit having the car for 5 hours... muahaha...

Greeting to all 408 owners.

Just collected my 408T in mid-Jan. It is a blue 408T.

Few observations that I hope can get some opinions from fellow owners here:
1. FC is about RM0.20/km. Driven for about 1300km on RON95. I calculate using the amount refuel over distance traveled since last refuel.
I think it is quite high comparing to what the SA told me ~RM0.16/km. Is this normal?

2. I found that the wiper sequence can be quite distracting when driving in the rain. The left hand side blade goes down last leaving wipe mark/line on the windscreen right in front of the driver and affecting the view.
I think it is because this car was designed for left hand side driving but when it is converted to right hand side drive, should this be considered as well?
And wonder if it only happens to me. What do you guys think?

Else are just awesome! thumbup.gif

Happy CNY!!

Greeting, congratulate to your new ride and happy CNY rclxms.gif

1. Please comment FC using L/100km or km/L unit, so as to prevent confusion due to the floatation of petrol price. Your FC is considered as normal for new, most of the owners here got around 12L/100KM for new cars. Slowly your FC will be better. Maybe around 9L/100KM.
2. Yes, the left wiper is longer than right side due to the conversion of the driver side. The manufacturer is too lazy right? Many of the owners complaint this also.

Thanks jfcheong.

1. FC is about 11L/100km. Good to know that it will get better. 9L/100km sounds decent.
2. When you said many complaint about the wiper, do you mean official complain to peugeot/nasim or only concern brought up in the forum? Not sure if the manufacturer was too lazy or just been overlooked. It might sound like a small issue, but when it is distracting driver's view it could be a safety issue.

Guess many of us here will be travelling this weekend. Drive safely!

People! Wanna find if anyone experience the same or it's just me. For the record, I didn't pee while driving but it was perspiration. Was in sports shorts and when I got out saw this;

Yes, the seat becomes warm like as if it doesn't breathe. Never had such issue with Benz or Lexus leather seats. Anyone?

Hi there,

Gotten my car last weekend. Kindly add me in the list. tq.

1.6L Turbo - Bourrasque Blue

I jz notice there are buzzing noise (like plastic vibrating) from door/window near driver seat. Can't really determine where exactly the sound coming from because it only happen when I'm driving and especially on uneven road.

Is there anyone have this issue? What is the possible causes?

Happy Lunar New year to you too...

Fat Bonus? Adalah sikit sikit, 5 figures, so am not complaining. One needs to count his /her blessings nowadays these days.

Practise some more, sure, but need your help though, pratise needs dummies like the Shaolin Wooden Men and if you can provide, sure I will practise until achieve mastery.

Note: I am not implying dummies as in referring to one's IQ, but dummies as in Crash test dummies, hope you get the picture...

My experience with 408 NA? Well I have to humbly admit I've just owned the car since late Sept/early Oct 2012, so to me, it is too soon (afterall it has just been a couple of months, and i am not even reaching 10,000 km mileage yet) to boastfully say I know it all Mister unlike some cocky fellows who don't even own the car and claim as if they know it better) but so far so good, it meets all my expectations and pleasantly surprises me in some area.

Why do you want to know from me alone? I am no different from other owners and you can read what they have written here especially all my taikos and taije who owns it since May 2012 or not so later.

But i am curious why? want to ditch the Passat and get a 408 and join us? mega_shok.gif

Not bad lah a 20% jump in sales, but could do better-one thing they really need to overcome is the financing part IMHO, what they have done in Nov/Dec 2012 is a good sign (staggered financing), so the effect is seen even here -the exponential growth of Pug 408 owners, see how the owner list has grown. thumbup.gif rclxms.gif

if you are referring to MAA then it is 6114 (2012) vs 5,345 (2011) so it is a 14.39% jump instead of the expected 20%.

If you are saying don't think my opinion that the financin stagger financing is the missing link. Well like I say it is just my opinion

Practise some more, sure, but need your help though, pratise needs dummies like the Shaolin Wooden Men and if you can provide, sure I will practise until achieve mastery.

Good good, having a fat bonus will ultimately work towards your goal of owning a bigger and better car or house whichever you prefer rclxms.gif

But surely you jest, would you consider going back to driving a Proton from your current P408NA? I would consider it a personal tragedy if I had to move from a bigger Passat to a smaller P207 for example. No my friend, my advise to you is always look up and strive towards a bigger goal, there's no point looking down... not unless you're on top of a beautiful chick nod.gif

I'm always curious what owners think about the cars they own and what car they were previously moving up from. I doubt there would be any single one owner that would have the same kind of experience would there? Just like I'm curious to know what sort of FC you are averaging. I do actually have a spreadsheet which I'm compiling that compares various C/D segment makes in terms of FC, maintenance cost and other issues. I'm been fortunate enough to have access to the pre-facelift Corolla Altis, previous gen Camry, the new Ford Focus, and also the New Honda Civic, so it's definitely good info which I can share later once I have enough information to upload freely for everyone to view. So what kind of FC are you averaging right now?

Btw, can't help you with the crash test dummies there. Perhaps you can go ebay and search for the toys or head to Miros and see if they give you access laugh.gif

No my friend, my advise to you is always look up and strive towards a bigger goal, there's no point looking down... not unless you're on top of a beautiful chick nod.gif

I'm always curious what owners think about the cars they own and what car they were previously moving up from. I doubt there would be any single one owner that would have the same kind of experience would there? Just like I'm curious to know what sort of FC you are averaging. I do actually have a spreadsheet which I'm compiling that compares various C/D segment makes in terms of FC, maintenance cost and other issues. I'm been fortunate enough to have access to the pre-facelift Corolla Altis, previous gen Camry, the new Ford Focus, and also the New Honda Civic, so it's definitely good info which I can share later once I have enough information to upload freely for everyone to view. So what kind of FC are you averaging right now?

Btw, can't help you with the crash test dummies there. Perhaps you can go ebay and search for the toys or head to Miros and see if they give you access  laugh.gif

Is FC your question? well , if you have read it all up here in this thread (which you should) FC will improve after 10,000 km service according to my fellow owners here, i have not done my 10,000 km service so i will tell you once i have crossed that line, hence you need to patiently wait. Currently my FC is ok but not great but i expect that to happen simply becoz i opted for 2.0NA engine , surely it cannot match Prince 1.6 Turbo or Passat TSI engine lah.

There is really no competition here simply becoz you cannot compare an apple with an orange. Also, unlike you, I am not obsessed with FC. Call it personal choice call it whatever you want but I don't do what you do, i don't like what you like, but as far as what is common among owners here, we own a pug 408, and that is the link, so my facts is just as subjective as any, because I thought FC is a function to the driver individual habits, whether like to speed a lot or are as gentle as you should treat a lady, No?

Aiyo no free lunch lah bro if you don't help me with providing the dummies, then why should i help you with your FC research? issh!

Aiseh, it's not like anyone here is asking you to share your wife or "wife" brows.gif By sharing your info and findings about your car, you can help your community grow rclxm9.gif

I'm definitely interested to know your personal drive experience, service cost etc. I've personally tested the 408T a few times, and I found it a little too firm. Never had the chance to try the NA version. Btw, you're right - The NA engine won't compare to the prince or TSI engine, but it is certainly good enough to compare against the current crop of Toyota dual vvti engine, Honda R series engine and the current Ford Focus Duratec engine. While FC is usually determined by your right foot, good engine design also plays a part in keeping fuel cost down. I'm surely interested to know how well the award winning EW10A+ engine compares with other NA contemporaries.

Remember, by helping me also means you're also helping potential buyers learn more about your PUG. A lively and helpful community is definitely more preferable to a dead one isn't it? Not to mention it helps Nasim Peugeot pick up more sales here in Malaysia laugh.gif

our 408 is as huge or bigger than a 407

407 LHW = 4676mm x 1445mm x 1811mm
408 LHW = 4680mm x 1525mm x 1815mm

i did a comparison before i ordered

so anything lower than 10L/100kms is considered very good

if you're expecting FC of a vios or city, this car is definitely not for you.

Actually dimension on paper is quite misleading. I never take those numbers at face value, but it does offer a good set of parameters for comparison. In contrast, the new Camry isn't very big dimension wise on paper compared to some other cars in the same segment, but yet it has one of the most cavernous cabin you can find in a non-premium market mid size sedan.

But I agree, I've been in the 408 before, and the rear seats are quite spacious.

Btw, I'm expecting the P408NA to have an FC that matches the current crop of Civic/Altis/Focus. It does have an award winning EW10A+ engine after all.

agree cool2.gif

fiesta has similar dimensions to the honda city and interior is so cramp and i hit my leg when i was checking it out at the showroom.

the older EW10 engines are very efficient. my colleague has a ulysse running at 8L/100kms for highways and 10-11L/100kms for town.

EW10A+ comes with VVT, it will be on par or even better i believe icon_rolleyes.gif

Yes, this is an engine that is actually on par and better than the current gen 2ZR-FE Toyota Engine in terms of the kind of technology it offers. So it will be a good comparison between the 2.

Valvematic, variable valve timing, variable valve lift are just part and parcel of what the EW10A+ has. There's even a gasoline direct injection version of the EW10A+ engine which unfortunately has been phased out due to poor car sales.

Hi bro and happy CNY. Running this car on RON97 is a waste of money. The engine is tuned to run on RON87. So RON 95 is more than sufficient. Since your car is new, your present FC is normal. After the 10K service it will be better. Ofcourse good FC finally depends on your driving style! I'm slightly heavy footed and I now get 9.3L/100km city driving.

Actually RON97 does give a smoother ride and idle....but the co$t blink.gif

Anyway, I tried filling up with BHP 95....I'm loving it...seems like the best so far for me.

This probably is true with EP6CDT engine and friends of mine who drive 308t have said this too. However as EP6CDTM is tuned to run on RON 87,RON 97 makes absolutely no difference, other than a bigger hole in your pocket! I've been using RON 95 for the last 8months,the engine is smooth with perfect idle! Doesn't miss a beat! In fact my engine has gotten even more smooth over the period!

yes it's written in our user manual, minimum petrol requirement is 87 for our 408 1.6T
i've try out both 95 and 97, the difference is quite minimal, just slightly faster/earlier gear change

but the weird thing is i experience bad FC on 97 blink.gif

normally 100km with 1/4 tank 95
now only 80km with 3/8 tank 97

bhp 95 is good right? i'll try out next time nod.gif

Today drive back to Kuantan with the new lion. The lion really roaring on the road. Easily touch the pedal and reach 170 and still smooth. At karak is very bouncy but after karak toll (after take the ticket), no more bouncy. Is due to road.

When I coming from behind, all the BMW, Mitsubishi have to give way, how nice the feel. Those day when I drove city, I have to give way. When after gambang toll and on the road lead to Kuantan, the power of overtaking zig zag is so nice feeling.

That is what I said no need to push your car to 225 to test the power. Just like when go up Genting and easily overtaking instead of everytime no power and have to goto side to give way to behind cars.

lol, I see any car coming fast behind me I also would give way. What more you're travelling at 170km/hr. Nobody likes being signaled or high-lighted. Suggest you take things a little easier when you come back, safer for you and safer for other motorist thumbup.gif

Hi all 408 owners,i am sort of undeciding whether to get the turbo or the 2.0NA.in town,i normally drive at about 60 to 80 kph whereas in highway just 100 to 130 kph only.I had tested the turbo, it was so powerful.I plan to use this car for at least 5 to 7 years, so I am worried about the turbo engine might be causing problems in the future.any advise?and any 2.0 owner here why u chose 2.0 instead of turbo?

Hi Patrick
NA comes with a tried and tested engine,it is reliable. With the turbo,it's not all about speed only. Yes it has decent power and gets to high speeds very quickly. More importantly, it has good low end torque to get one out of a dicey situation! Sometimes you need quick acceleration to avoid danger, thats when this car delivers! The car comes with additional safety features. Any one of the additional safety feature may play an important role in an unforeseen event,hope such an event does not happen,touch wood!

I'm sure you would have read all the info here at this thread. I've said it a few times that this turbo engine carries 8 mods over the old Prince,addressing reliability issues. There's easily a dozen or more of us who got our Lions just after the launch. Not a single engine complaint. In addition you've got 5 year warranty.

Road tax is lower and better FC. So city or urban you save, every mile you drive! IMO.

Just go for the thp patrick wink.gif

I chose the thp coz of the extra torque that helps me in overtaking through my weekly commute through state roads which most of the time is full of lorries. Other than that, the leather seats (yes I've leather fetish lol).

I dont give a fuss over possibilities of problems, since I know problems can come anytime to any car or any engine or any equipment, and I have my wife's car as backup.

Hi all 408 owners,i am sort of undeciding whether to get the turbo or the 2.0NA.in town,i normally drive at about 60 to 80 kph whereas in highway just 100 to 130 kph only.I had tested the turbo, it was so powerful.I plan to use this car for at least 5 to 7 years, so I am worried about the turbo engine might be causing problems in the future.any advise?and any 2.0 owner here why u chose 2.0 instead of turbo?

Patrick, i'm not power addict and like you, I only drive 110-130 at highway. I could safely say that overtaking with 2 person inside isn't an issue, even when going uphill (not steep). However, the engine will have to put in extra effort with 4-5 person inside or extra luggage in its massive boot.

However, the safety features and the electro-hydraulic steering on the turbo are 2 of the features which I wish was included as part of the NA package.

Being said that, after close to one year of ownership, I never regretted choosing NA over turbo :-D

There will be no significant dif between that. On paper, 1.6T will have a better FC than 2.0NA. However, I think my FC will be higher than some NA owners even mine is 1.6T. I am quite an aggressive driver. So, its more to your own driving style.
Overall, the dif of FC will not be that noticeable.

For me, I find the NA quite responsive and also powerful. There's a certain way to treat this Lion. No doubt, standstil to century mile is rather slow vs thp, but once exceeded 100kmh, the speed will rise like crazy baby!

I'm now in Pg btw ( happy CNY!) and speed all the way lah - 160-180kh very easily ( 3am -6am & don't worry on safety or comment bla bla ;p)
So make no mistake if u think NA lags those higher performance cars. Plus u can easily overtake lorries on the tap!

Talking about Batu Ferringhi, just passed thru today :- family went to new theme park, Escape in Teluk Bahang. NA handles well and absorbs the lubangs lubangs well.


BTW My wife also agrees that 408NA performs much better in highways. It really a cruiser if I can term it as such.

Anyhow, for me, I went for 2.0NA as I'm more comfortable with the proven reliability of EW10a+ ( previously award winning EW10a on 407) & the comfort suspension setting.

Hi Patrick,

I chose turbo is because it's affordable to me. However, as I mentioned in my previous post, the ride is rough. It doesn't absorb the road deformity.
2.0NA gives a more comfortable ride compare to turbo.

Second thing about turbo is the leather seat, Post#428

After a week of use here is a list of my observation and finding of my Pug408T unit.
1) #Defect: Bubble at the driver side door upholstry
2) #Config: Braking and the steering shakes.
3) #Defect: Back passenger left side door, chrome misaligned at the joint between the sliding window and the small glass.
4) #Design: Small glove compartment.
5) #Design: Air cond inside the glove compartment, WTH for?
6) #Design: Non breathable leather seats.
7) #Design: Petrol cover opening mechanism can fail and if does no alt tip to open the cover.
8) #Design: Back passenger doors, need to open wide otherwise it'll swing back and hit the boarding passenger's arm and it can be quite painful. Must makesure to hold the door if elderly / kids are boarding.
9) #Design: Eurokit is a total aesthetic waste of money and marketing gimmick to justify for the extra 3K
10) #Design: You cannot lift up the screen wiper without showing off the AWESOME engine.

Lastly, engine power is awesome and that makes up for some of the drawbacks.

11) #Design: Entertainment unit has no MUTE button compare to the printed diagram in the User handbook, instead they put a TA/PTY button. Which I do not think such service is available or I may be mistaken.

Hi matsukatsu, I think i should go n test drive the 2.0 n compare it with the turbo.
Yes kejusan,agree with u, i honestly feel that perhaps 2.0 would be more suitable for me as I seldom on highways.but I like the safety features that the turbo provide.I should go n test drive the 2.0.

Whooaa..I thought you've tested both car. Please do test drive all cars that you're considering before you make your decision. Like you said, you plan to drive it for as long as 7 years, so you really need to be satisfied with it.

1) #Defect: Bubble at the driver side door upholstry
2) #Config: Braking and the steering shakes. Do send your car back to SC for checking and retify the issues
3) #Defect: Back passenger left side door, chrome misaligned at the joint between the sliding window and the small glass. My interior chroming also got some defect, the edge were not well refined, the cutting edge feel like cutting my finger.
4) #Design: Small glove compartment. The storage space of the glove box is mainly taken up by the fuse box. Initially this car is designed for left side drive, while converting to the right side drive, the fuse box was not re-position. Which left inside the glove box.
5) #Design: Air cond inside the glove compartment, WTH for? It serves as a chilling function, you may chile your soft drink by putting in the glove box. However, you can also turn off the air con vent thats inside the glove box.
6) #Design: Non breathable leather seats. I agree on this also, but i still prefer leather over the fabric seat. Easier to maintain.
7) #Design: Petrol cover opening mechanism can fail and if does no alt tip to open the cover.
8) #Design: Back passenger doors, need to open wide otherwise it'll swing back and hit the boarding passenger's arm and it can be quite painful. Must makesure to hold the door if elderly / kids are boarding. Yes, this is truly annoying, gotta open the door to the designate angle, else it swing back and the doors are damn heavy, thats y most of the time my wife just straight open the door hard which might bang the object beside my car.  rclxub.gif
9) #Design: Eurokit is a total aesthetic waste of money and marketing gimmick to justify for the extra 3K  thumbup.gif
10) #Design: You cannot lift up the screen wiper without showing off the AWESOME engine. Actually you can adjust your wiper to parallel position and lift them up, no need to open up your boot to show the PRINCE inside. Just simply press down your wiper indicator (like how you activate your auto wiper), after you have turn off the engine and remove the key.

Lastly, engine power is awesome and that makes up for some of the drawbacks.

Item 8 ;- doors are really heavy ( not to mention big!) I had my fair share of adoi moments on both front & rear doors! For my front doors, once i've open the doors, I will now hold the corner edge with my hand as I've always poke myself in the face whenever I want to go in. Silly me but ithappen quite a bit during 1st 2-3weeks. He he, the doors are pretty the solid I guess

The doors are solid but the opening mechanism is poor. The angle of the inner door handle is also awkward. Peugeot should do something about this. You dont get this problem with other conti's.

I don't find any problem with the door. As matter of fact, I really like the way the door behave. Open it wide enough until it reaches the first lock or click and it will stay there. Also, I find it's very useful to carry things inside or out, especially big and bulky items. And closing the door requires very little effort. Just apply a gentle push to swing the door from the lock or click, and it will close with a solid thud. Just make sure your arm or leg is not in the way when the door swings back!

You're right! Those adoi moments are mostly in between parkings where I can't open wide enough. On my car porch, its lovely lah. As on my earlier description on heavy door, I'm describing so as when it swings back unannounced, the door does push me back! Hehe

Found a write up on 408 2.0NA on The Malaysian Reserve Nov 2012
------------------------------------------------
The C-segment market today offers a competing variety of choices for young executives who want a car that’s power-packed with sleek looks and space to boot.

Enter the all-new Peugeot 408 which comes in two variants — a 408 Turbo and a 408 2.0. The new Peugeot 408 fits into this segment market like a glove, according to Nasim Sdn Bhd, the official distributor of the Peugeot brand in Malaysia, adding that the new model will “redefine Malaysia’s C-segment market”.

Launched in May this year, the two new variants are targeting the middle class, the young professional, and the young family.

The 408 2.0 is a “feel good” model when it comes to aggression, speed, looks, space and comfort, and comes packed with a powerful 2.0 engine that delivers unrivalled performance and swift response on every command, making it an enticing attraction for sedan lovers.

“The 408 is ideal for young professionals with families who are looking for a car that offers space, performance and elegance,” joint group executive chairman of the Naza Group of Co SM Nasarudin SM Nasimuddin said.

Being a stylishly power-packed car, the 408 2.0 variant does offer a combination of the dynamism typical of a Peugeot with a high-level of comfort and premium quality. The 408 2.0 and its turbo variant feature design cues that are sleek and balanced.

Sleek Appearance The 408 2.0’s sleek appearance with its 4.68 metre-long front end, includes Peugeot’s classic feline headlights and the fluid lines sweeping right to the back are seductively styled and is a definite head-turner.

The car’s thin chrome strips on the radiator grille and sculptured lines on the bonnet that flow naturally into the wide slopping windscreen portray it’s aggressive character.

The sides feature carved wheel arches, while the plunging body line from the rear lights to the front wing showcases an extrovert nature that delivers enthusiastic characteristics of the car.

At the back, the ruby red rear lights are trimmed with a clear white strip that hint at a lion’s claws within the cluster, which is an interesting element that grabs attention.

According to Nasim, the rear lights take on the form of three diagonal strips that are a tribute to Peugeot’s historic models such as the Peugeot 307 CC and the 504 coupe.

Innovative Features Safety-wise, the 408 2.0 comes with an array of innovative features and ground-breaking technologies built-in, such as two smart airbags, the antilock braking system (ABS), an electronic brake-force distribution system (EBD) and electronic braking system (EBA) among others, which is also featured in the turbo variant.

The car also has a double impact force dissipation channel to provide maximum passenger compartment protection together with a host of other safety enhancements.

According to Nasim, the 408 2.0 has the biggest cabin space in its segment and its engine offers more power and higher torque compared to both the Toyota Altis 2.0 and Nissan Sylphy.

It also comes with a lot of premium features that the competitors do not offer such as the automatic dual-zone air-conditioning system with rear air-conditioning vents, “World in Peugeot sound” with six speakers and CD/MP3 playback capability, The 408 2.0 also features a tilt and telescopic steering, one-touch power windows with anti-pinch for all four windows, sensor-activated headlights and wipers, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, 17” alloys and a bigger boot space of 562 litres.

Extra Large Cabin Space The 408 2.0’s cabin offers the largest cabin space in its class with its long 2,710mm wheelbase, its width measuring 1,815mm and its height at 1,525mm provides ample leg room, elbow room and head room respectively.

Although some may say the 408 2.0 was designed with over-achieving business types in mind, the sedan actually appeals well to young spirits who crave for power and smooth driveability.

Test-driving the 408 2.0 though highway curves, the car performed smooth road handling characteristics, driveability and possessed real onroad finesse, which should fit well with the younger group.

With its decent seat space and position, efficient driving capabilities, safety features and an impressive audio enhancement system, the 408 promises dynamic driving performance for both the younger and older customer market.

Precise Road Holding The 408 variants are fitted with independent MacPherson-type struts and antiroll bar for the front suspension to offer precise road holding.

At the rear, the suspension comprises a deformable Ushaped cross member and an integrated antiroll bar to provide good vibration control and well-controlled body movement.

Powered by a four-cylinder 2-litre engine, the 408 2.0 produces 145hp and 200 Nm of torque fitted with an auto adaptive gearbox with Triptronic and a sport mode.

Other than the premium features, Naza offer customers the benefit of five years warranty with unlimited mileage, lifetime 24-hours Peugeot Assistance and Lifetime Peugeot Privilege Membership for both 408 variants.

Hi Chan,

Seems like no one answer you here is the answer and it's an addition to the #Design flaw list;

PTY: Program Type. This coding of up to 31 pre-defined programme types – e.g. (in Europe): PTY1 News,
PTY6 Drama, PTY11 Rock music – allows users to find similar programming by genre. PTY31 seems to be reserved for emergency announcements in the event of natural disasters or other major calamities. This allows you to search for ROCK stations, news etc.

TA, TP: Travel Announcements, Traffic Program. The receiver can often be set to pay special attention to this flag and e.g stop the tape or retune to receive a Traffic bulletin. The TP flag is used to allow the user to find only those stations that regularly broadcast traffic bulletins whereas the TA flag is used to stop the tape or raise the volume during a traffic bulletin.

Hi all 408 owners,i am sort of undeciding whether to get the turbo or the 2.0NA.in town,i normally drive at about 60 to 80 kph whereas in highway just 100 to 130 kph only.I had tested the turbo, it was so powerful.I plan to use this car for at least 5 to 7 years, so I am worried about the turbo engine might be causing problems in the future.any advise?and any 2.0 owner here why u chose 2.0 instead of turbo?

2.0 was just within my set budget.

I prefer the fabric seats as they are much cooler when you start to drive the car.

Speed wise it is still a good car, you just need to floor it. smile.gif

Do you call Peugeot careline when you encounter the problem? Is it Peugeot who arranged for the towing service? You need to pay anything for the towing service, and changing the thermostat is claimable under warranty? If it's indeed Peugeot who arranged for all of these, how do you rate their respond?

p/s : Now I sounds like NASIM employee doing a satisfaction survey  blush.gif

Sorry for late reply. So many thing happens lately.
Yes i call the Peugeot careline and they want to arrange towing service but too expensive. Peugeot cover for RM150 only. Then use my father's friend for the towing. So, for towing i bear myself. Changing thermostat is under warranty, so not charge at all. The respond quite OK for me. The service center that fix my car also not bad because they manage to diagnose my car problem on the phone.hehe

For comparison purposes against 408 THP

VW Golf TSI 1.4 15000km service price

Total: RM469.00

Engine oil 5W40 (3.6) - RM244.80
Labor (?) - RM120
Sundry (???) - RM20

Not exactly cheap either, lol. It may very well be much more expensive compared to the 308/408 THP

i think it would be great if we are able to compare the total cost of service from 0km to 100,000km or 5 years among all c-seg cars

It would be great of course. What it only needs is time and also for owners to be forthcoming with their service cost.

this is correct, the 408 has wider tracks and a longer wheelbase which gives it a more pliant ride compared to the 207. it is in a bigger segment anyway. that said, for what it is, the 207 is pretty competent. but with that car, it is all a bit of luck. many have trouble free cars while some have horrors on their hands but even how horrible also, that car wont tell you that it has some engine fault that needs stoppage on the road and need towing. so, in a way, it does have a good reputation as a camel, it may be bumpy (solved by lowering the front springs - for older cars. new cars all come with lowered suspension already), but in the end, it won't let you down.

now my 207 is having the auto lighting problem, the auto system is not function. on the inform screen showing "auto lighting fault"
but before i send it back for the 1st service (2.5k service) my car auto system was ok, auto lighting function well. only the auto wiping some minor problem, after they tried to fix it but they didn't then the auto lighting can't function anymore.

below are my car problems tat before i sent my car back to the first 2.5k service:

1. some abnormal knocking noise when driving
2. alignment not even
3. auto wiping is not auto functioning , it have to reset it manually every time, (but at least it still can work, better then now, now is the worst T_T)
4. stirring is supper hard, but when speed above 90/km it become supper light, it will easily self turn to a side if you don't hold the stirring properly. *to me this is very dangerous O_O"
5. car 'shakes'(i dunno whats the correct terms) very serious when above 100/km
6. the rear n back windscreen is totally blur, can't see through during at night, day time can see a bit but blur. i sent to car wash but the guy try to wipe it but he said in this condition need to do polish, cost about RM300+
7. wiper can't wipe smoothly (this is still happen now)

and another 2 more issues but can't remember at the moment xD

Not a major issue or defect but has anyone of you notice the center display unit showing 'Economy Mode Active'? It happened on my ride last weekend; when I turned the key to 'standby' before actualy starting the engine, it shows the 'eco mode' thing. Normally, it only display 'Automatic Door Locking Activated', but rather than displaying this, it display the 'eco mode' only. It only happened for 2 days and in that 2 days, my car was parked in car porch, not moving anywhere. After I brought the car for driving, only then the 'eco mode' isn't present anymore and the 'auto door locking' display is back on display.

Any explanation? Has it detect my previous driving style and decided to adapt eco mode but when I drove aggressively, it has switch back to aggressive mode? The only new things I've done prior to that happening is washing the car by myself and pumping BHP instead of Caltex.

The Economy Mode is not that kind of fuel save mode. Its kind of auto shut down certain function after you turn off your engine to prevent battery killed, such as headlamp, wiper etc. For more details you can refer to user manual page 122.

normally it could mean a few things. as with peugeot, the engineers have a limited command of english so for example, engine fault could mean a depollution issue, could mean the spark plugs need changing, the engine oil is not good, your timing has gone a little off etc. anything that is connected to the engine usually induces the 'engine fault' sign coming up.

so in the case of 'economy mode active', it could have many meanings. as far as i know, it could mean, the alternator doesn't have enough time to charge up your battery properly. the remedy for this is to go for a long drive to have it charged up. the other means that the battery is weak and needs your attention. it could also mean you left your doors open for far too long or left your radio or lights on without the engine started and the battery just got weaker (drained) because of that. usually, you just need to go for a longer drive to charge up the battery. otherwise, it could mean a replacement battery or worse still, the alternator is about to die (which i don't expect in your newish cars).

a note though, leaving your car doors open for a period of time just to air the cabin uses the battery up and if engine is not started to let the alternator charge, drains the battery. this is because the car systems are switched to 'on' mode anticipating a start up. so, having systems on but alternator not running and charging, also induces the message on your mfd.

hope it helps.

the 408T has a newer engine with many upgrades (do spend some time referring to back pages to read about the changes posted by forumers here) that should make the car a bit more easy to own and upkeep. that being said, it is not all 6-speed 308T that have issues.

You should get "ECO MODE" upon inserting your key only when you have done something that drains the car battery while the car is not started, e.g. switch on the radio, turn on the wiper, or simply lock/unlock the car door many times. If you simply park your car for couple days without touching it, "ECO MODE" should not come so easily. Just be careful as it can be an early sign of battery dying.
